HAIR-Dallas.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 696,122, dated March 25, 1902.

Application sied May 16, 1901.

T0 a/ZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN F. WARNER, of Boston, in the county of Suiolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Hair-D riers, of which the following,taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specilication.

My invention relates to a toilet device to be used for drying ladies and ohildrens hair 5 and it consists in the construction of a comblike hair-drier and a detachably-attached heater, the whole constituting a convenient portable toilet accompaniment.

This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a plan of my device. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal vertical. section of the same. Fig. 4 isan end view, the neck of the handle being shown in cross-section. The dottedlines indicate the position of the drier when turned upon its longaXis.

In the drawings, A represents an oval plate having large solid teeth B B, which are distributed over the surface, .as shown. This part of my invention is usually made of cast metal. In practice I have found aluminium to be well adapted for this purpose. `A light and convenient handle, as C, is attached to the part A. This handle is preferably nonmetallic, so as to be a non-conductor of heat. Heat is supplied by a lamp L, which may be adapted for alcohol and have Wicks S S and a closing cover or cap T, or the lamp may be packed with an absorbent material-'asbestos, for instance-to besaturated with any safe-burning tluid, a part of the packing being exposed for ignition as common in many of the well-known portable heaters.-

The part A is held by means of two hinged bracket-pieces M'M' and by a spring snap- Serial No. 60,607. (No model.)v

hook D E. The hook part E engages with the extreme end of the part A, as shown. In addition to these I also have a hinged pin K, which is so made as to pass through the handle at C. This pin K is pivotally attached to the bracket M and is frictionally'held in any position by the washers W W. (See Fig. l.)

My drier may be operated as follows: The user after forcing the spring-hook D E back can turn the part A over, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 4, (hinging onV the pivot of the pin K,) or he may tip the part A, swinging it on the pin K, so as to be able to remove the cap T and light the heater. He now replaces the part A and allows it to heat. When suficiently hot, he can replace the cap T and proceed to use the device by applying it to the wet hair.

In using, as above,'the toothed plate may name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, on this 8th day of May, A. D. 190.1.
